Your gracious and laid back hospitality, the beautiful yet eco-friendly accommodations, and the backdrop of it all...simply made it the perfect place to be for several days. Many thanks to you and your wife and staff of helpers!" JH, San Francisco, December 2006 "........ thanks for your message. Just another example of the very many courtesies we enjoyed whilst staying with you. We were very lucky with our choices of accommodation and had several really delightful experiences in many and varied locations. However, of all of these, covering Australia, NZ and Hawaii, we have to say that by far our favourite was Wanaka Homestead and if the chance to repeat the visit occurs again, we shall jump at the opportunity" C&K, Australia, 2006.

Fly-Fishing comments "I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the fishing in Wanaka last week and how much I appreciated your efforts and guidance... " CG, UK "...This short break will rank as our all time most enjoyable ‘away from home’ experience. Whilst I can safely say that your Wanaka Homestead concept, the fly-fishing academy, the location and quality of the environment, the peace and quiet and the relaxed pace all significantly exceeded our expectations, we had not prepared for the possibility that we would be leaving saying fond farewells to firmly established good friends."
